Maybe this should have gone in the Sculpting thread, but I didn't make a build log when I sculpted these about four years ago. It was my first game DMing, a 5e homebrew, and enigmatic mycelial conspiracies played a large part. At this point I only knew the FLGS as a source of minis, and they didn't have any myconids. So I made do. One of them is based loosely off of bracket fungus and one off of amanita toadstools.
Showing them off now because a) I picked up some Nolzur/Wizkids new Myconid Adult sculpts to go along with them, and b) I'm seeing so many wonderful mushroom-folk on the forums and love jumping in front of bandwagons.
The sculpting was ham-fisted and the painting leaves much to be desired, but I am proud of one innovation that you can use for your myconids: for that enokitake effect, get a bunch of sewing pins, clip to different lengths, and bend them into a gentle curve near the cut or pointy end. Cluster as necessary.

I will be building 2 custom 12*9*1 foam storage trays for my metal minis, using foam, felt, foamcore.
Yesterday I applied felt to the first side of the foamcore base. Today I will apply felt to the other side. This will give a sturdy base and something soft for the minis to rest on. Second side is so that I can layer them and worry less about scratching.
Total cost materials glue, 5$ foam, 1$ felt, 1$ foamcore.
Bonus, I have trays that will fit in my fancy Muji storage boxes.
Photos later.

Hello everybody!
I made a little paint shaker-mixer, of which I am quite proud of. Very simple, very silent, and not terribly efficient but it helps.
It is a nice addition to my painting desk. In the video you can see it in action, along with an explanation of how it was made.
Hope you like it!

After seeing this video, I started work on some worms. Here is the first one in all it's slimy glory. On the short side for ease of storage.
Base is a 2" metal washer but it is hard to notice.
Dwarf on 25mm base (D&D Miniatures War Drums #14 Warpriest of Moradin) for size comparison. The Grid is actually a Go board, so it isn't a 1" grid.
Colour is kinda off in this pic, but here is a good size comparison.
Rotation of the worm. Camera isn't good at video.

Fighting with my camera over backgrounds and stability. Had to use flash to get the focus right .
#001, #002: 1" ?Ochre? jellies: Brown tinted PVA on top of lunar stone base [grey felt hardened with non tinted PVA]. Small plastic beads for nucleus.
#003: 1.5" Black tinted PVA on top of red sand with similar beads for nucleus.
#004: 1.5" Green tinted PVA on a lightly textured 'road' base, Tried working other colours in, not happy with the results.
#005: 3" Like #003 but bigger, more eyes
Maybe second photo will be less eye gouging.
